 Resurrected old Purple Power today, my favorite Scorp! I think it is a 73 Stinger 290. Has a CCW290, purple metal flake, 15" track. Anyhow, it is a great little little sled, light weight, easy pull rope, starts easy, user friendly, takes a beating. We drug the thing all the up to Elephant Lake last March, and it broke a drive wheel on the first day,so I was stuck having to horse a 440 Sting around for rest of the week. |

There just isn't enough metal flake anymore. That thing is beautiful! When I was a kid my family owned a body shop and Dad painted everything we owned in metallic or metal flake. Mom's fridge and stove were a sparkly blue metallic and our old trihull boat was banana yellow with a giant one and half foot wide stripe of green metalflake on the sides. The purple on this sled is the coolest thing I have seen in a while.

Thanks Kube1, I am glad you like it.
In my circle of vintage sledders, I also get points for the black duct tape upholstery job!
The little scorp has 13 - 32 gears, single row chain, probably goes 40, but has enough power to spin the track at will ( rear steer )
